Q: How do families hire trustworthy child care providers in {{city}}, {{state}}?

Families find trustworthy child care providers on Sittercity who are passionate about providing safe and enriching care for their children. Many providers report they are First Aid and CPR certified to provide the best care for your family.

Q: What’s the difference between a nanny and a babysitter?

Nannies and babysitters share the same primary responsibility of providing safe and enriching care for your child, but there are a few differences between them. Nannies are more commonly associated with regular work, whether full or part-time, offering daily or consistent care to a particular family. There are also several different types of nannies, including au pairs, house managers, doulas, live-in, and overnight nannies. Babysitters, on the other hand, are typically hired for irregular or occasional work, either full or part-time. If you’re looking for last-minute care for date night, or the occasional few hours after school, a babysitter is a great best option. Identifying the type and frequency of child care you’ll need is the best way to decide whether a babysitter or nanny is a better fit for your family.

Child care providers on Sittercity love providing enriching experiences for your children, and sharing their passions with them.

So If Anyone needing Faith Daycare & Babysitting, I'm available. I have reasonable prices $100 a week full-time for both children and $50 a day part-time for one child and I'm great with kids, I have been babysitting for 16 + years. And I will treat your child as my own, I have my CPR certificate and First Aid. And I live in the Evansville, Indiana area and I babysit ages 6 weeks old babies-5 years old toddlers Monday- Friday 7a.m.-5p.m. and I provide breakfast and lunch, snack but if parents make arrangements with me ahead of time the child can stay longer, I will provide dinner for the child. And I provide in my stockpile baby wipes and diapers and pull-ups but parents have to bring formula and bottles for their child. And I can potty train a child if needed it and the children will learn new things everyday while doing activities and the children will love playing with other children. And the children will have lunch at 11 a.m.-12 p.m. then the children will have naptime for an hour.

My wife and I are opening our home to help watch children throughout the week. We're both licensed foster care parents as well through DCS, which includes a full background check as well as a CPS/child protection check, as well as making sure our home is safe and fun for kids! We have two children of our own, ages five and seven. At our home, there's plenty to do, including scooters, RC cars, games, toys and much more! For school purposes, our home is next to a bus stop that routes to Castle Elementary. Both of us are healthcare providers, so we're certified in Basic Life Support, which includes CPR/First Aid/Choking for adults and pediatrics. If you're looking for child care, after/before school care, we'd love to help out! We're a non-smoking family, with two awesome dogs as well!
